Smooth and slippery Delrin mounting plate<\/strong><\/p>\nWe originally used a simple leather pad with an aluminum tail piece mounted to it for the mounting plate. What was learned is that the leather would, over time, develop a slight figure eight shape as the sides curled up through pressure between the shoulders during the upward wing strokes.<\/p>\n
We replaced leather with a similar shape piece of machined Delrin whose width was narrow and whose length just enough to attach the tail spring and protect from the bottom of the transmitter. Delrin is a high-strength machinable plastic and will not act as a heat shrink or otherwise cause irritation in relation to temperature.<\/p>\n
All edges are rounded and smooth, and the overall shape is gently curved to better match the shape of the back. We use an expensive UV-resistant Delrin that is rated for 20 years in direct sunlight without becoming brittle or cracking. So, it’s possible your kids will inherit your used mounting plates.<\/p>\n
Extra length of ribbon for sizing and extra fit<\/strong><\/p>\nStarting with a length of 36 inches, or 18 inches per side, allows enough extra room on most Hawks and Falcons to have about 5-7 inches extra to use for manipulation, sizing decisions and general handling.<\/p>\n
Custom internally threaded brass crimping ring<\/strong><\/p>\nWe take brass tubing and tap a thread into it to provide a better bite when it is crimped. It has been tested, by hanging a bucket with weights, to around 25 pounds of holding strength.<\/p>\n
Three Sizes<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Micro size TrackPack uses the tightest smallest ribbon, and will only accommodate a Micro sized spring.<\/p>\n
The Regular size TrackPack will accommodate all transmitters, including the Micro, although it will not be quite as snug.<\/p>\n
The XL or Eagle size TrackPack uses the 1\/4 inch ribbon and a longer mounting plate helps position the ribbon lower on the torso. This can be used for large Buteos as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
